Is There Anything to Celebrate?
by Steven Shamrak
59 years ago, the Jews were finally able take control over
part of the Jewish ancestral land and create the State of Israel. It was a time
of national climax and the triumph of modern Zionism. We lost 1% of the Jewish
population in Palestine during the Independence war later, and were not able to
retrieve most of the Jewish land. But nothing could dim the fact that after
2000 years of life in exile, Jews were once again in charge of their land!
At this moment, during the celebration of our independence,
the current gutless and traitorous political leadership of the country is
talking about “painful sacrifice”. We had already made them in 1922, by letting
Britain to cut off Trans-Jordan and the Golan Heights, respectively 77% and 5%
of our land; in 1948, by agreeing on a ridiculous maze-map the left over crumbs
that the UN had allocated for Jews in order to facilitate ‘Holocaust-2’ by Arab
states.
Now Olmert is paving the way for more concessions to the
Arab terrorists. It will create more demands from Arabs and more Jewish lives
will be lost. Nothing will please the enemies of the Jewish people, Arabs and
other ‘well-wishers’, until they extort the final ‘concession’ – destruction of
Israel!
Under unyielding pressure from the International
anti-Semitic hypocrisy, Israel has made an endless string of concessions and
sacrifices during the past 59 years. Unfortunately the pressure has been severe
during the last two decades. And the corrupt, aimless and gutless leadership of
Israel was not able to resist it. As a result, Israel has being ruled by people
with no integrity or national character! At the moment, the Jews are in a worse
position than we were in 1948. The years of political impotence, corruption and
selfishness have only brought the denigration of our national, moral and
spiritual identity.
With a weak Israel, we are experiencing the rise of the
international anti-Semitism conducted by Muslims and the predominately Left
political spectrum. The Jews in Israel and the Jewish communities worldwide
have been continuously losing their national identity Self-criticism has become
the national trait; support of true Zionism is highly unpopular among Jews.
Jews have nothing to be proud about or celebrate this year!
Israel must shake off its “they will not allow us” mentality and elect a new,
vibrant, nationalistic government, which is prepared to end the hypocrisy
forever and re-unite all Jewish land and Jewish people. Only then will Jews
have something to celebrate next year!
